The footy show has involved a pair of racist clowns for more than a decade with what appears to be little repercussion if at all. And it don't stop at racism folks. Sam Newman is also clearly a sexist douche and Eddie a precious homophobe Have a look at this below. Note Eddie Macguires 'Falafel roll' and homophobic comments have been conveniently left out of his Wikipedia..
SAM NEWMAN
EDDIE MACGUIREControversies[edit]
Newman has been involved in several incidents of public controversy.[9] Reports indicate that Newman is deliberately controversial, and that his on-air persona is nothing like his true self.[10] Particular incidents include:
1997 – Newman's 25-year-old girlfriend, Leonie Jones, drove his own car into him outside his house, breaking his leg and an ankle.[11]
1999 – On The Footy Show Newman blacked up his face to impersonate indigenous footballer Nicky Winmar, at a time when racial vilification charges were being levelled at some AFL players.[12]
2005 – A female fan broke a window whilst trying to break into his Brighton house.[11]
2008 – Mocking television personality and The Age newspaper writer Caroline Wilson regarding how she was dressed on Footy Classified three days earlier by bringing a mannequin model onto stage and stapling a cardboard cut-out of Wilson on the face of the model and "experimenting" with different outfits. Newman then moved the model about.[13] Wilson brought the issue up on Footy Classified on the following week's episode, speaking of her disappointment to Garry Lyon, Newman's co-presenter on The Footy Show.[14]
2008 – Joking that an attractive Tasmanian MP, Paula Wriedt, was "Worth coming on her", after an interview featuring Wriedt was aired on The Footy Show. This was later explained as a misinterpretation.
2009 – The Nine Network and Newman were sued for defamation by a female board member of the Western Bulldogs football team after he said on air that she was a "liar" and "hypocrite". They settled for $220,000 plus costs.[15]
2009 – 17 September. During the Footy Show broadcast Newman likened a Malaysian man to a monkey, being "not long out of the forest". The Australian Communications and Media Authority ruled Newman was likely to have "provoked severe ridicule on the basis of the man's colour and race". Newman's employer, Channel Nine, offered to donate $200,000 to charity in the event of any future code breach and had "agreed to a number of other provisions in the enforceable undertaking, including significant senior management overview of the materials to be used by Mr Newman and a broad-ranging reporting regime and training obligation".[16]
2010 – 30 June. Newman was criticised for disrespect to Aboriginal beliefs when he revealed on a radio show that he had hit a golf ball off the summit of Uluru.[17]
2012 – 4 May. Newman caused controversy by pretending to smoke a bong on The Footy Show.[18]
Now if we switch sides and look at the two key men in the NRL footy show we see both paul vautin and peter sterling as squeaky clean on Wikipedia. The pair clearly have good values and were brought up decent and likely learnt good values in their chosen sport also. I do recall Steve Roach being involved in an assault and being forced off the show as a result.Racism controversy[edit]
On Friday 24 May 2013, during a match at the MCG, a 13-year-old Collingwood fan racially vilified Sydney Swans player Adam Goodes by referring to him as an 'ape',[25] following which McGuire apologised to Goodes "on behalf of the Collingwood Football Club and on behalf of football".[26] McGuire said that Collingwood had a "zero tolerance" policy towards racism, but also said that the girl did not know that what she had said was a racist slur.
On Wednesday 29 May 2013 McGuire himself made an on-air racist reference to Adam Goodes and King Kong, also using the word 'ape'. He apologised on air after making the reference,[27][28] but prefaced his apology by stating "I wasn't racially vilifying anyone".[29] McGuire's comment was widely criticised.[30] He also held a press conference in which he apologised again. In a later interview that day, he admitted he was guilty of racial vilification.[31] He also offered his resignation as Collingwood President, but the Collingwood board expressed their support for him.
So why and how have eddie and sam been given free reign to be complete knobheads and yet continue to host and do as they please? I guess channel nine has a lot to answer for but so too does the AFL
liar extraordinaire
